10 of the Most Unbelievable Ramen Recipes

You may have dismissed the idea of the turducken or the 26-Ingredient alphabet sandwich as a tad too unconventional. However, the food mashups we’re covering today involve an instant upgrade to a simple food: ramen. Sure, you can pop open a pack and experience a meal in minutes, but why settle for a salty soup when that pack-o-noodles might be the key to the next haute hybrid food? Even if you’ve never tasted a mashup more unusual than the PB + banana sandwich, these 10 outside-of-the-packet ramen recipes may just be the answer to all your food fantasies.

1. Ramen Waffle Sandwich: Who says ramen and waffles don’t mix? This savory snack is soft inside, crunchy on the outside. Add bacon and eggs for a match made in heaven. (via Chow)

2. Ramen Grilled Cheese with Bacon: Eh, who needs bread? Get inspired to try the noodle bun and give your grilled cheese a total transformation. Sounds weird, but it just might be delicious. (via She Knows)

3. Ramen Pizza: Because… why eat ramen out of a bowl when you can have it on your pizza? Two much-loved comfort foods collide to create one epic nosh. (via Buzzfeed)

5. Ramacos: We’ve talked spaghetti tacos before, but ramen tacos? This food mashup even has its own name: ramacos. We can’t decide if this is an epic combo or something we’d be totally embarrassed to be caught snacking on. (via Serious Eats)

7. Homemade Ramen Burger: This is the perfect recipe for that “wow, really!?” reaction. Hamburgers and ramen are two of the most popular foods on the planet, so this mashup only makes sense — even if it is a bit messy to eat! (via Kirbie Cravings)

10. Ramen Noodle Omelet: These two ingredients are likely already waiting in your kitchen — ramen and eggs. This combo is a great alternative to more glamorous lunch options, or perhaps just a cheap way to beef up your breakfast. When it comes to eggs, it’s always okay to get creative with add-ins.
